Summary

Roseau Elementary is a public elementary school in Roseau, Minnesota, serving 585 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Roseau Public School District. The school has consistently ranked in the top 50% of Minnesota elementary schools over the past decade, with academic performance generally on par with or slightly below state averages in math and reading.

Roseau Elementary's strengths lie in the upper grades, particularly in 6th-grade reading, where proficiency rates have consistently exceeded the state average. However, the school faces challenges related to its relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 35.04% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This is higher than the nearby Warroad Elementary, which outperforms Roseau Elementary in both math and reading proficiency. Roseau Elementary also experiences achievement gaps for certain student subgroups, such as female students and special education students, indicating a need to address these disparities.

Despite these challenges, Roseau Elementary has maintained a stable 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the years, suggesting a consistent level of academic performance. The school's proximity to the higher-performing Warroad Elementary presents an opportunity for collaboration and the sharing of best practices, which could potentially help Roseau Elementary improve its own academic outcomes.
